Naomi [Live] lyrics

Age has made her frail

I'm scared to take her in my arms

But there's an understanding now

And a peace behind the eyes

And age is for complaining

But you won't here much from me

Growing old with Naomi

Now I recall the first time

I took her in my arms

At times I was unfaithful

She said: "No future in the past"

So we don't talk about it

She keeps a gentle edge on me

And I don't mind

Growing old with Naomi

She wasn't all I wanted

But she's all I'll ever need

Oh, a rich man always wants some more

And I was rich indeed

A rich man and a poor fool

But it turned out right for me

How lucky can you get?

Growing old with Naomi

Now, the kids today, they think that they've

Had dscovered everything

But me and her, we'd done it all

Without a wedding ring

And sometimes things remind us

And she's smiling back at me

It ain't hard

Growing old with Naomi

She wasn't all I wanted

She's just all I'll ever need

Oh, a rich man and a poor fool

And I was rich indeed

I never thought her beautiful

But I do now, 'cause I see

I'm getting wiser

Growing old with Naomi

Oh, the place is kind of quiet now

The kids have all left home

We'd like to see more of them

But we're grateful when they call

And in the quietness afterwards

She comes and sits by me

Make me feel like a man

Growing old with Naomi

Make me feel like a man

Growing old with Naomi
